Urgent Notice.
Please spread the word at once.
The soft toss into the outfield fences needs to
stop NOW! Any team that wants to soft toss should use the fences that are already damaged from this practice
on the cage. We will look at options of setting up hitting stations with temporary fencing or netting. The
practice of hitting into our fences causes damage, and is too expensive to repair.
Again soft toss
drills only allowed in area of cage where fences are already damaged.

Just a Little Boy.
He stands at the plate with his heart pounding fast.
The bases are loaded; the die has been cast.
Mom and Dad can not help him. He stands all alone.
A hit at this moment would send the team home.
The ball meets the plate. He swings and he misses.
There's a groan from the crowd. Some boos and some hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries, "Strike out the Bum."
Tears fill his eyes; the game's no longer fun.
So open your heart and give him a break.
For it's moments like this, a man you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.
He's just a little boy,and not a man yet.

PONY baseball
How is PONY Baseball different from Little League Baseball?
The primary features that distinguish PONY Baseball from Little League
Baseball are the use of a two-year age bracket system and scaled playing fields or diamonds.
In organizations such as Little League players can differ by as much as
three years within a division. With players of only two ages involved, as is the case with PONY
Baseball, it is far easier to permit every player to play more positions
since the difference in skills within the age group is not that great.
The game of baseball cannot be played as it was intended to be played if the
physical capability of the players does not match the physical achievements
required for the game. Little League uses two diamond sizes. Up until age 12
players play on a 60-foot diamond. PONY Baseball, on the other hand, scales
the size of their diamonds to match the physical capabilities of the players
within each division. The base dimensions for PONY Baseball are:
50-foot bases for Pinto (7-8 year-olds)
60-foot bases for Mustang (9-10 year-olds)
70-foot bases for Bronco (11-12 year-olds)
80-foot bases for Pony (13-15 year-olds)
These base dimensions are the result of extensive experimentation to
determine the size on which players of each age group can properly play the
game of baseball. Pitching distance is also scaled to the ability of the
player in proportion to the size of the diamond.
The scaled down diamonds allow the players to make the plays made by the
major leaguers. Home runs become a possibility. Outfielders can play in a
position proportionately equal to that played by a major leaguer, and the
double play, squeeze play, and various strategy tactics, difficult for
adults and nearly impossible for youngsters on a full size diamond, become a
probability rather than an impossibility.
